RCA RPJ136 Home Theater Projector - 1080P Compatible -(Renewed)

Are you looking for a cheap projector that will provide you with a decent viewing experience? Especially something where if it were to break, you're not out an arm and a leg? This is a fantastic option for exactly that!We ordered two projectors, this one, and another new projector that is under $100. We wanted to be able to test the differences between them, but also to have one permanently installed, while one we could take with us to various settings. Set up side by side, we were able to test a couple of different things, and this is what we found:-This projector was not quite as bright as the other projector it was tested against. However, it was still plenty bright and was able to be clearly seen, even in a room that had normal blinds drawn during the middle of the day, so plenty of ambient light that could make it difficult to see.-The image quality was okay, good enough for most casual viewing. It is a native 480p projector, so while it can upscale to 720p, it will be limited somewhat. Colors within the images were fine, though I wouldn't necessarily say great.-This projector had decent volume, but sound quality is not the best. It will certainly do the job when watching a tv show, but if you want more richness in the sound quality, you'll want to look at some extra speakers.-Decent amount of adjustability! The projector we compared this to did not come with any ability to zoom or do any keystone corrections, so when this one allowed us to use different angles for projection, it definitely was a win. I did notice though that the edges of the images could be a little fuzzy even when the center of the screen was focused correctly.-Lastly, the fan certainly isn't the quietest. It's not loud enough to completely take away from whatever you are watching, so long as your volume is high enough. However, if you do listen for it, it'll still be noticeable, probably more so the closer to the actual projector you are.Long story short? Really can't go wrong with this projector at this price point. Definitely not going to be the best viewing experience you've ever had. But being able to get a big screen picture at this price? Definitely worth it. For the price per performance ratio, I'm giving this five stars.

If you have reasonable expectations you'll be very happy with this. It is NOT a replacement for high-end home theater projector.Excellent, low-cost device that you can use casually like take with you on trips, use in a child's bedroom, or in your backyard etc. It's smaller than most projectors, about the size of a dictionary and weighs about a pound.The unit is brighter than I expected but you need a dark environment. If you can't make your environment darker than make the picture smaller. Colors are vivid. Motion is fluid and naturalI plugged in a FireStick, sound could be surprisingly loud but has the flat tonality of an alarm clock. Not a problem for listening to the news or sports game. You can plug in portable speaker or soundbar if you want better sound.Fan does make some noise but just don't sit right next to it. Not a deal-breaker for me.Could use it for PowerPoint if font was decent size. Don't expect to show Excel spreadsheets unless you zoom in.To get good sharpness make sure the unit is level and parallel to the wall it's projecting on. While you can angle the unit and use keystone correction I found that only the center of the picture is sharp and the corners won't be that sharp. Best way I found is to focus the center then use the keystone dial to adjust till corner is sharp. Note that there is a focus range and it does work well to wall size. if you try to make a 20 foot image you won't be able to get it in focus.Includes 12 volt 3.5A power supply. Remote needs two AAA batteries (not included). Inputs: Two HDMI, computer, USB flashdrive, MicroSD. Output: Headphones and audio. Threaded metal tripod socket on bottom.I've already ordered another as a gift. I think you'll be very happy with this if you have reasonable expectations.

Great buy. Works great in dark. Cheap solution to broken tv. Sound definitely could be better but for this price, can't complain.

The media could not be loaded. Was honestly a bit skeptical of this projector. Considering the old saying "you get what you pay for." Well, I got more than I paid for. This is a cheap, yet nice projector. Works okay in somewhat light rooms. But really looks good in a dark room. It's light, easy to travel with. Has a remote control. Has a good ount of inputs for whatever you wanna play on it. The projector has a built in speaker. Is the speaker the best? No, no it isn't. However..it is decent. Especially for the price! I've hooked up my Blu ray player, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X to it. And have even used it for a job! As an artist, I sometimes look for a way to easily do big jobs. I've been doing art for a barbershop in town. And decided to put the draft drawing onto an SD card. Then prohect it onto the wall. To ensure the lettering etc..is how I want it to be in size etc..Worked really well. I recommend this projector if you want a good one for a cheap price! And RCA is a well known, historic brand!

I am still trying to get it perfect but not there yet. The image is not as bright as I would like. The projector needs to be "close" to the wall to have a clear picture. Not many option to focus the picture. One knob is to focus. The other is for the skew (not what it is called but it changes the rectangle image shape).On the other hand, I love that it was two HDMI inputs (which is why I bought it in the first place). The speaker isn't that great so I'm happy it has an audio output jack which I can connect to an external speaker. It worked good enough for us to watch Hamilton and a movie.As mentioned before, I am still working perfecting the projected image but as of now, it's either blurry on top and clear on lower. or clear on top and blurry on bottom. It might be how I have the projector positioned.

Not damaged by shipping. Internal damage.
